STARTECH N6PATCH50BK 50 ft Cat6 Snagless UTP Ethernet Cable Black 24 AWG

50 ft Cat6 snagless UTP patch cable

This 50 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable provides a snagless RJ45 male connector at each end for secure Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit Ethernet links. The black PVC jacket protects 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated for 250 MHz bandwidth. It supports 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft and handles 100 W Power over Ethernet. ETL verification confirms compliance with Category 6 performance standards.

Snagless boots simplify installation

The snagless boot design prevents the locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables or panels during routing, reducing the risk of broken clips. Stranded 24 AWG conductors give the cord flexibility for tight bends behind racks or desks without damaging the copper core. A common issue occurs when excessive pulling force separates the boot from the plug, so route with slack at both ends. The CMG fire rating allows general-purpose in-wall runs where local code permits.

Verify length and port clearance before ordering

Measure the exact path between devices to confirm that 50 ft covers the run with enough slack for strain relief. Ensure each endpoint has a standard RJ45 jack with enough surrounding space for the snagless boot profile. Check that your switch, router or NIC supports the desired 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps negotiation, as the cable itself is rated for those speeds. The TIA/EIA-568 wiring standard guarantees compatibility with standard Ethernet pin-outs.
